Leadership

It is a characteristic of all movements and crusades that the psychopathic element rises to the top.
- Lindner, Robert
Leadership Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Leadership

1.
Pull the string, and it will follow wherever you wish. Push it, and it will go nowhere at all.
Eisenhower, Dwight D.

2.
If you have fear of those that command you, spare those that obey you.
Azai, Rabbi Ben

3.
Faith in the ability of a leader is of slight service unless it be united with faith in his justice.
George Goethals

4.
A leader who doesn't hesitate before he sends his nation into battle is not fit to be a leader.
Meir, Golda

5.
It is the Vague and Elusive. Meet it and you will not see its head. Follow it and you will not see its back.
Lao-Tzu

6.
There is no such thing as a perfect leader either in the past or present, in China or elsewhere. If there is one, he is only pretending, like a pig inserting scallions into its nose in an effort to look like an elephant.
Liu Shao-Ch'I

7.
The best executive is the one who has sense enough to pick good men to do what he wants done, and self restraint to keep from meddling with them while they do it.
Roosevelt, Theodore

8.
The real leader has no need to lead -- he is content to point the way.
Miller, Henry

9.
If you lead a country like Britain, a strong country, a country which has taken a lead in world affairs in good times and in bad, a country that is always reliable, then you have to have a touch of iron about you.
Thatcher, Margaret

10.
I've always found that the speed of the boss is the speed of the team.
Iacocca, Lee

11.
There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things.
Machiavelli, Niccolo

12.
The most important quality in a leader is that of being acknowledged as such.
Maurois, Andre

13.
Each person must decide for himself what he wants each day. As a leader, I will expose you to the options and the likely consequences of those options. I'll even share my opinion if asked, but I'll never confuse it with the opinion, which simply doesn't exist.
Dyer, Wayne

14.
The high sentiments always win in the end, the leaders who offer blood, toil, tears, and sweat always get more out of their followers than those who offer safety and a good time. When it comes to the pinch, human beings are heroic.
Orwell, George

15.
There is great force hidden in a gentle command.
Herbert, George

16.
The world of the 90s and beyond will belong to managers or those who make the numbers dance, as we used to say, or those who are conversant with all the business jargon we used to sound smart. The world will belong to passionate, driven leaders -- people who not only have an enormous amount of energy but who can energize those whom they lead.
Welch, John

17.
Leadership is a matter of having people look at you and gain confidence, seeing how you react. If you're in control, they're in control.
Landry, Tom

18.
It is a great pity when the one who should be the head figure is a mere figure head.
Spurgeon, Charles Haddon

19.
The secret of a leader lies in the tests he has faced over the whole course of his life and the habit of action he develops in meeting those tests.
Sheehy, Gail

20.
Every leader needs to look back once in a while to make sure he has followers. Source Unknown Effective leaders are known by the questions they ask rather than the statements they make.

21.
I have three precious things which I hold fast and prize. The first is gentleness; the second is frugality; the third is humility, which keeps me from putting myself before others. Be gentle and you can be bold; be frugal and you can be liberal; avoid putting yourself before others and you can become a leader among men.
Lao-Tzu

22.
Public sentiment is everything, with it nothing can fail, without it nothing can succeed.
Lincoln, Abraham

23.
Leadership is the activity of influencing people to cooperate towards some goal which they come to find desirable and which motivates them over the long haul.
Tead, Orway

24.
A leader is a person you will follow to a place you wouldn't go by yourself.
Barker, Joel A.

25.
The penalty of leadership is loneliness.
Robinson, H. Wheeler

26.
The best leaders of all, the people know not they exist. They turn to each other and say We did it ourselves.
Saying, Zen

27.
The wise man who is not heeded is counted a fool, and the fool who proclaims the general folly first and loudest passes for a prophet and F?hrer, and sometimes it is luckily the other way round as well, or else mankind would long since have perished of stupidity.
Jung, Carl

28.
It's important for the explorer to be willing to be led astray.
Oech, Roger Von

29.
Leaders are made, they are not born. They are made by hard effort, which is the price which all of us must pay to achieve any goal that is worthwhile.
Lombardi, Vince

30.
People try so hard to believe in leaders now, pitifully hard. But we no sooner get a popular reformer or politician or soldier or writer or philosopher --a Roosevelt, a Tolstoy, a Wood, a Shaw, a Nietzsche, than the cross-currents of criticism wash him away. My Lord, no man can stand prominence these days. It's the surest path to obscurity. People get sick of hearing the same name over and over.

31.
No man has ever risen to the real stature of spiritual manhood until he has found that it is finer to serve somebody else than it is to serve himself.
Wilson, Woodrow T.

32.
An army of deer would be more formidable commanded by a lion, than an army of lions commanded by a stag.
Proverb

33.
I don't believe in just ordering people to do things. You have to sort of grab an oar and row with them.
Geneen, Harold S.

34.
When a blind man bears the standard, pity those who follow.
Proverb, French

35.
The manager administers; the leader innovates. The manager has a short-range view; the leader has a long-range perspective. The manager asks how and when; the leader asks what and why. The manager has his eye on the bottom line; the leader has his eye on the horizon. The manager accepts the status quo; the leader challenges it.
Bennis, Warren

36.
Tell a person they are brave and you help them become so.
Carlyle, Thomas

37.
The shepherd always tries to persuade the sheep that their interests and his own are the same.
Stendhal, Henri B.

38.
If I advance, follow me! If I retreat, kill me! If I die, avenge me!
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

39.
Show me the leader and I will know his men. Show me the men and I will know their leader.
Newcomb, Arthur W.

40.
Napoleon affords us an example of the danger of elevating one's self to the absolute, and sacrificing everything to the carrying out of an idea.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

41.
Leadership appears to be the art of getting others to want to do something you are convinced should be done.
Packard, Vance

42.
Outstanding leaders appeal to the hearts of their followers -- not their minds.

43.
Only one man in a thousand is a leader of men -- the other 999 follow women.
Marx, Groucho

44.
Six traits of effective leaders: 1. Make others feel important 2. Promote a vision 3. Follow the golden rule 4. Admit mistakes 5. Criticize others only in private 6. Stay close to the action Example has more followers than reason. We unconsciously imitate what pleases us, and approximate to the characters we most admire.
Bovee, Christian Nevell

45.
The well being of the people is the supreme law.

46.
The minute a person whose word means a great deal to others dare to take the open-hearted and courageous way, many others follow.
Anderson, Marian

47.
Leadership must be established from the top down.
Nunn, Sam

48.
The person who renders loyal service in a humble capacity will be chosen for higher responsibilities, just as the biblical servant who multiplied the one pound given him by his master was made ruler over ten cities...
Forbes, B. C.

49.
Leadership in today's world requires far more than a large stock of gunboats and a hard fist at the conference table.
Humphrey, Hubert H.

50.
Great leaders understand human behavior rather than the cybernetics of any function.
Schorr, James
